- - - > I finally got around to posting
the next part of my super, ultra, horribly
lame story. >D This chapter's also very
short. I know I'm so much of a slacker that
it'll take me awhile to finish the story,
so I just cut it off again, instead of waiting
till the very end. Yeaaa.

Also, about the color of mistletoe, since I've
had a few people comment on it. Yes, MOST of the
time the berries are white, that's the most
common color, BUT there are red berries. The fact
that they're rare is the reason I chose to use
the color red, because then there would be less
of a chance of someone knowing what the berries
were. IE Naruto or Sasuke, so it would work to
Kakashi's advantage somewhat.

Anyways. Remember I own nothing. On to the story!

THE BERRY MISSION: PT 2


Upon entering the restaurant Sakura's screams of "Get the hell off of me Naruto!" were ringing through the air. Everyone in the restaurant had put down their food just to watch the scene, many people cringing as Sakura gave Naruto a good smack to the top of his head. "Ooi.. Sakura-chan you're so mean.." the boy whimpered, giving her puppy eyes. "Cheh! That's what you get for dragging me around the restaurant!" And with that the pink haired girl sat down at the table quickly, making sure to turn away from Naruto. Sasuke took notice of how violently Sakura's eyebrow was twitching as he noticed Naruto preparing to seat himself in the chair next to their female companion. Whispers could be heard through out the restaurant, no one believing that the boy could be THAT stupid, but they were wrong, so very wrong. Everyone was prepared for the fire that was about to break lose, but in the blink of an eye Sakura had pulled the chair out from under the boy, causing him to crash to the ground. Her facial expression remained emotionless, as she let out a hiss of, "That spot.. is saved.. for Sasuke-kun..".
Naruto was now glaring at the girl from his spot on the ground, rubbing his backside gingerly. Sasuke let out an uncomfortable cough, slid by Naruto, and took his designated chair. He had expected for the girl beside him to let out a cheer, but she didn't move an inch, because now she was in complete control, and she knew it. The other diners let out a few more whispers before returning to their meals. Naruto grumbled and moped over to the chair on the other side of the table, taking a seat next to Kakashi, who had been amused by the whole ordeal, a smirk curving across his face. Underneath that smile though, the man was plotting a plan so devious, so horrible, it would go down in history.. (dun dun dun!).
Things slowly returned to 'normal' as the food was served, Naruto's mouth so full of ramen he couldn't cause any trouble. Except for the times he would reach across the table to grab some random untensil or condiment, only to recieve a smack to the hand and a hiss from Sakura. The girl hadn't said one word to anyone or so much as glanced over at Sasuke once, and as much as he wouldn't like to admit it, this worried the boy. There was nothing wrong with Sakura though, because, just like her teacher, she was planning out something nearly as devious and horrible. So (nearly) devious in fact, Inner Sakura's manical laughter would've been heard for miles. And so the dinner continued quietly, only the hisses and smacking sounds interrupting the group's silence. This was not quite what Kakashi had expected to happen, but it would surely work to his advantage.
Once Naruto had finished his 16th and final bowl of ramen, he let out a contented sigh and jumped up, "Sugooooi! That was great Kakashi-sensei! Thanks!" Sakura eyed the boy, noticing that they were all done with their meals, she prepared to put her plan into action. She was unsure whether or not she'd get the results she wanted, and she was going to have to put aside her pride for the moment, but she couldn't think of any other way to get away from Naruto AND be alone with Sasuke. It would soon be time to play her part. Kakashi stretched and stood up, "Are you all ready to go then?". Both Sakura and Sasuke gave the man a quiet nod, and Sakura slowly stood up, making sure Sasuke had gotten out of his seat first. Naruto was in the front of the group, a large grin on his face as he marched out of the restaurant. Kakashi quickly paid for their meals and soon followed after the boy, Sakura and Sasuke in tow. Sakura inhaled, preparing herself and sucking up her pride. She normally wouldn't choose to look like a fool, but this had to be done. In the blink of an eye, the girl forcefully tripped over the edge of the doorway. Of course, her acting skills weren't picked up on by the others, and Sasuke didn't even notice the girl about to crash to the ground. Just in the nick of time though, Kakashi had reached the girl and grabbed her around the waist.
Sakura inwardly let out a howl, this was NOT her plan. She was SUPPOSED to have hit the ground. Then, hopefully SASUKE would've picked her up and helped her home. The girl's eyes narrowed and she looked up at her teacher with a glare that should've killed him. Of course, Kakashi had a completely different reaction, because things were now going his way. His plan never could've worked out as perfectly as this would. He quickly carried Sakura over to the bench, sitting her down next to him. Naruto blinked, not having a clue what had just happened. Sasuke, on the other hand, by now had realized exactly what the girl had intended to do. He knew Sakura could've easily steadied herself. It was at this moment that Sasuke remembered the small berries their teacher had placed in the tree earlier, and he quickly turned to look at the pair. This was not going to turn out pretty..



{+} I apologize for how bad this is, lol.
Now that X-Mas is over I suppose I've lost
interest in it, plus I've been rather busy,
but I don't want to just leave it and not
finish it off. Anyways.. remember..
